I like the Pilot's Creed....."Attuide equals Altitude" Works for
planes, jets and helicopters.
But it often works for those who are in need of an attitude
adjustments. Just fine tuning.

Hey John,
Expecting people to leave their comfort zone and come spend time with the
lonely guy who could depress Howie Mandell is a bit unrealistic. Stop playing
the victim and get out there. Not to be harsh, but I'm certain you have
something to offer your community. It's easy to fall into the "pity-party"
philosophy and blame everyone else for not going out of their way to come be a
"friend". I learned quickly that some "friends" I used to have were not
comfortable around me. It was hard for them to see their former college
football teammate rolling around in a chair. Screw Them, how selfish! I'm a C6
Quad and teach 8th grade at a local middle school. My new friends, and some
old, know me on a deeper level. They sure as hell know that if they "tip-toe"
around me and give me extra chances to "swing at the ball" out of pity...they
just might be watching the ball fly out of the park. I'm not perfect, and
I thank God every day for the opportunities he lies in front of me. He gave me
an extra chance, an extra swing, and it's my responsibility to do something
with it. I have a weekly poker game of 10-15 people at my house if you're ever
in the San Antonio area. Life is what you make of it. Don't give-up, get
out!
FLAME-UP, OR FIRE OUT!
